Adventure of a lifetime with memories which will last forever!

We had the pleasure of experiencing a safari in Tanzania with African Bovine Adventures, and it was simply fantastic! The entire trip was excellently organized, and every detail was carefully thought out. A special thanks goes to our guide and organizer Adrian, who was not only extremely knowledgeable and friendly but also spoke German. This eliminated any language barriers, allowing us to fully enjoy the safari. We visited different national parks, including the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and each park had its own unique charm. The Serengeti amazed us with its endless plains and impressive herds of animals, while the Ngorongoro Crater was a true highlight with its breathtaking scenery and incredible diversity of wildlife. It was unforgettable to see lions, elephants, giraffes, and even rhinos up close. Thank you to Adrian and the entire African Bovine Adventures-team for this perfectly planned safari. We can wholeheartedly recommend this company and will never forget this trip! ✨🐘🇹🇿

The guide is friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable

We went during December, so the weather was nice (15-22C). Apparently the migration is happening during this time, so we saw lots of animal and the scenery was incredible. One tip, bring some car sick meds, as the road are harsh and bumpy. If you are a nature/animal lover, I think the tour is a pretty good deal.
